For our 2005 tour we stayed at the Street YHA. Today Street is famous for its shoe museum and shop and its cider. It lies in the Somerset Levels the second largest fenland area of Britain and is named after the medieval causeway that linked it to Glastonbury Abbey. There are many interesting places to visit in the area, including of course the beautiful Wells Cathedral.
